Any lens with a 46mm screw mount will work or use a step up ring for any other sizes. Fuji makes a telephoto and wide angle lens. Third parties also make lenses but Im not sure of the quality. The ones from Fuji for the S5700 run around $160 Cdn.

Do you mean that i need like a small peice that can screw into the original 46mm lens that can allow me to add bigger lens's..?

Sorry i just want to make sure i understand it all correctly..

im going to email fuji now and ask them about it all but to get two thought would be great thanks..

Also on there website everything meaning there lenses are in 55mm does this mean if i can get a 55mm adaptor ring for my camera i can use these leses or no...

The telephoto and wide angle lenses from Fuji just screw onto the front of your camera. As for filters etc you can attach any that are 46mm directly or you can use step up rings 46mm to 49, 52, 55mm etc and use any filters that fit those sizes. I use step up rings and all the filters from my old 35mm camera. If you buy a polarizing filter be sure to get a circular filter and NOT a linear one.

I bought a 55mm stepping ring for mine, as it's easier to get larger filters and than the 46mm ones.

Hi Nick
I get all my lenses etc to fit my Fuji cameras from here;

They are based on the Gold Coast here in Australia and have a really fast turn around. Every item I have bought for my S5700 (2.5 x Tele converter, Wide Angle/Close Up Lens and a range of 52mm Filters) has been delivered by local Courier in 2 days tops.
I have to get some extra bits for my S9600 now.
Cheers
Tony :)
